6. DISTRIBUTION OF WORLD POPULATION Population concentrations  The four largest population clusters [East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Western Europe]  Other population clusters [W. Hemisphere, West Africa] Sparsely populated regions Dry lands – 20% to dry to farm; contain natural resources? Wet lands – near equator b/t 20° north & south latitude; large amounts of rainfall Cold lands – covered with ice or permafrost; unsuitable High lands – mountains are steep, snow covered
